About this album

So Red The Rose is Arcadia’s sleek, high-gloss debut, turning the glamour and precision of mid-1980s pop into something more theatrical and artful. Formed by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran, Arcadia used the project to push beyond standard new wave into synth-pop and art-rock terrain. Released in 1985, the album featured the international hit Election Day and brought together sharp hooks, elaborate production and a cool, cinematic atmosphere. Its blend of pop ambition and studio sheen made it one of the era’s most distinctive side-project records.
